I've set up a local webserver to store kickstart files for domUs. All parameters are respected apart from the network settings. DomU always gets DHCP. Can any one help to unwrap this one? Does one add hostname, ip, netmask and gateway values to the /etc/xen/blah.cfg file? # ---- domU kickstart file ----# url --url http://192.168.1.120/centos/5/os/i386 lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard uk network --device=eth0 --bootproto=static --netmask=255.255.255.0 --ip=192.168.1.115 --gateway=192.168.1.1 --nameserver=192.168.1.1 --hostname=dns1 --onboot=yes rootpw blahblahblah firewall --enabled --port=22:tcp authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone --utc Europe/London bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=xvda --append="console=xvc0" clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=xvda --asprimary part / --fstype ext3 --size=10240 --grow --ondisk=xvda --asprimary part swap --size=1024 --ondisk=xvda --asprimary %packages @base @core # sudo cat /etc/xen/dns1.cfg ramdisk = "/home/jayeola/virt/images/centos_domU/initrd.img" kernel = "/home/jayeola/virt/images/centos_domU/vmlinuz"name = "dns1" maxmem = 1024 memory = 1024 vcpus = 1 on_poweroff = "destroy" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" disk = [ "tap:aio:/home/jayeola/virt/images/centos_domU/dns1.img,xvda,w" ] vif = [ "bridge=xenbr0,script=vif-bridge" ] extra = "text ks=http://192.168.1.120/dns1-ks.cfg" -- John Maclean 07739 171 531 MSc (DIC) Enterprise Linux Systems Engineer
